Jimmy John's is owned by a terrible conservative big-game hunter asshole.

M_Z, my kid drinks tons of tap water. And when my wife worked in day care, A LOT of the kids she took care of drank tap water. It's not so uncommon.
Besides water, kids are often drinking juice and milk, especially when they are in school. Unfortun…
The Sanest Arguments Against Fluoride by the Mercury addresses a lot of the concerns brought up here.
Fluoride is flavorless. Texas water tastes bad because it comes from Texas.
My son spent the first 4 years of his life in Portland, and I'm a lit…
In my neighborhood, it was always windows salesmen. Once one knocked on my door and told me his company was doing free window replacement estimates. He promised no pressure to buy, just a quick estimate. We needed to replace our windows eventually, …
I've always had a soft spot in my heart for Amanda Bynes ever since she was on Letterman and she showed up with a portrait of him (that she painted herself) as a gift. She seemed so goofy and cool.
I use theoldreader.com right now. It's not as quick at updating as Google Reader, but it's otherwise very similar.
There's a long queue to import your feeds from Google, though. If you sign up and import now, it will probably be done in a few weeks…
Life of Pi was amazing visually. No matter what you think about the story (which isn't that bad, especially if you've read the book first and are thus inoculated), it's a BEAUTIFUL movie. I hate 3-D, but that is one movie I wouldn't see any other wa…
kdawg, the connection between Beyonce lip-synching and people accepting being lied to by the rich and powerful seems tenuous. It was a performance, not a sacred oath or promise. While I agree with you that the national anthem is more than just pop m…
That reminds me of this NYT article from earlier this year.
Mental illness was a factor in this shooting, but it didn't need to be. The alienation and loneliness that comes from being different and not knowing how to properly socialize and express …
7 bucks for an app you use all the time sounds like a good deal to me. Cheaper than a book or a movie!
My wife uses Period Tracker and loves it, but it does show tree limbs and flowers when you're fertile.
What makes me mad about Facebook's filters is that it decides which of my friend's updates are "interesting" or "important." There's a reason I follow them on Facebook, I want to see what they say! It's such a pain to have to switch every single per…
Also, the Honeymoon Nightmare post is supposed to have "1 Comment" but when you go to the page, there are no comments at all.
If this is the advice problem page, maybe there should be some sort of anonymous question form, so people can ask question…
"Barefoot" runner. Right now I use Vibrams but the next pair I buy will be something like Merrell's Trail Glove. The separated toes on Vibrams don't really matter and they are the ugliest shoes I have ever owned b/c of them.
I don't listen to music…
Tortilla chips in migas are good! That's how I use up all those little busted broken pieces of chips at the bottom of the bag.
My personal favorite brand of tortilla chips are Juanitas, which I just found out are made in Hood River.
I loved when Roger thought he was being profound by saying, "When people are looking at you, they're usually not even thinking about you," and Don was like, "Lots of people that haven't taken LSD already know that, Roger." Made me laugh so hard.
Ha…
When our cat wasn't drinking enough water and was subsequently getting dry skin/UTIs, we were advised by the vet to add water to our wet canned food. There hasn't been a problem since. And yeah, gradual changes in food are best.
According to this list, the new DT book is "set in between the events of Wizard and Glass and Wolves of the Calla."
Also, that list ranks all of his books, and there are some seriously messed up decisions. There's no way Thinner is the best Bachma…
From an interview with Stephen King:
"Stephen King is a character in the fifth and sixth Dark Tower books, and Stephen King the non-fictional author is wondering whether to take him out on the next draft."
I don't know if he means changing the 5th …
YT, if you live within walking distance of pizza fino then you probably live in or near my (former) neighborhood!
We packed all weekend then left for Texas on Sunday morning. I drove all day and night non-stop and we got into Texas at about 9pm on …
